I have a Seagate 1TB Flexagent Desk hard drive that I am trying to format to Fat32 so I can reformat it to WBFS using WBFSmanager. I cant figure out how to format this drive. Does anyone have any suggestions how to or a program to do a 1TB drive???

if you're using windows, diskmgmt.msc is the easiest. delete the partitions on the 1TB drive, then create a 32768MB FAT32 partition (must be that exact number). then make sure it's marked primary active.

then with the rest of the space, format it to NTFS. then use WBFS manager to format the whole NTFS partition to WBFS.

I put my hard drive into two partitions. First one is 32gig formatted to fat32 and set as active, primary partition. the second partition is 899.51gb formatted to ntfs and set as primary partition.
I am still getting "an error occurred while formatting drive" when I try to format the ntfs side to wbfs with the wbfs manager.
What am I doing wrong?

run WBFS manager as admin. that's usually the cause.

I got it figured out finally. I was using the 2.5 version and not the 3.0 that I thought I was using. SO as soon as I used the 3.0 it worked.
But now I have some other issues with my usb loader on the wii. If I cant figure that out, I'll be posting another thread again. Thanks for all the help/info.
